After just one season at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino left the team with mutual consent. On July 1st, 52-year-old Pochettino took over as Chelsea’s manager. He signed a two-year contract with a one-year option.

“Thank you to the Chelsea ownership group and sporting directors for the opportunity. The club is now well positioned to keep moving forward in the Premier League and Europe in the years to come,” Pochettino said in a statement.
